Our pride and our sin can become a self-imposed veil that keeps us from discerning what the Lord has promised for us in the Scriptures. Let us pray that the Lord would remove that veil on our hearts through His Word and the Holy Spirit. May He transform us to bring glory to Himself and blessings to His people. May people see that we have been transformed by the Spirit of the Lord. (UGP)
God Judges the Sin
Moses Reflects God’s Glory
Moses’ Face Shines
Exodus 34: 27-35
Exo 34:27 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
27 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Exo 34:28 So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
The Shining Face of Moses
Exo 34:29 Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses' hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.
Exo 34:30 So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
Exo 34:31 Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.
Exo 34:32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them as commandments all that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Exo 34:33 And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
Exo 34:34 But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded.
Exo 34:35 And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.


1. What had happened to Moses while he was on the mountain, that he was unaware of?
2. What effect did this have on Aaron?
3. What did Moses do when he was near the congregation?
4. When Moses went in to speak with the Lord, what did he do differently than when speaking to the people?
5. What did Moses do then that seems almost impossible for us to do?
6. How long was Moses with the Lord this time to receive the new tablets of stone?
7. What one word covers the kind of agreement God made with these Israelites?
